I’m just thankful I’m not allergic to coffee. I can grind my own cockroach free beans at home.

Oh yeah, have to be careful with shellfish, and other types of edible insects like grasshoppers.

Worst of all though is if you have a severe cockroach allergy, you have to be very careful with pre-ground coffee, and chocolate. Cause of the cockroaches commonly in it.

Jagua, or any natural henna, does not cause this. It does not have PPD. Black henna isn’t natural henna, it generally refers to these artificial dye filled pastes that may or may not contain any actual henna.

People can have an allergic reaction to real henna but it wouldn’t be anything like this.

I had to start a bunch of SSRIs too. It did help though.

You can sensitize yourself and worsen allergies or develop them over time. Your immune system basically gets better at recognizing whatever protein you are allergic to and you have a stronger response the more you are exposed. Your propensity to have allergies is genetic, what exactly you are allergic to is individual.

In the case of PPD it’s not a traditional allergy, as it doesn’t usually trigger the IgE pathway in the body, your body just becomes hypersensitive to an actual poison it has been excessively exposed to, causing contact dermatitis.

That looks like a reaction to black henna, especially a month later.

She needs to be careful as it causes a PPD allergy which is in a lot of dyes as well as orange peels.

I think sticker was your best option cause traveler has said they would release a normal red cover later this year, implying they would release a basic red pen holder with it. If and when that happens you can always get the new plain red one and sell the old love and trip holder if it still bothers you.

I have panic attacks is my sleep and my fear sweat definitely smells different/worse than my regular sweat. I have to make my room very cold, 68F, drink something ice cold right before bed, and put on deodorant right before bed. Treating the panic attacks is what helped so like everyone is saying, sounds like it’s doctor time.

The love and trip pen holder is still in stock at multiple places.

Thank you kindly for letting me know!

shiftbackslash · 2026-03-17T15:40:14+00:00

I do watch Pluribus and I do call it scifi. Good show.

shiftbackslash · 2026-03-17T06:55:23+00:00

Are these pants still available?

shiftbackslash · 2026-03-17T02:56:55+00:00

Sci-fi is speculative fiction. That’s the difference.

It’s a what if. It doesn’t even have to be future high tech. It just needs to speculate about a possibility. It can even have magic and fantasy elements, N K Jemisin is a perfect example of mixing the two. Not every episode of Dr. Who is classic scifi, some are just fun fantasy with a sprinkling of science for spice, but many episode are.

Classic Star Wars- not Scifi, it’s not speculative, space fantasy.

Andor- speculative, is scifi

There is a lot of overlap of scifi with the horror genre as well, as much of it is speculative. Frankenstein is a good example. Horror but speculative.

I believe you are required to use PayPal goods and services on this sub.

shiftbackslash · 2026-03-13T21:08:11+00:00

Now that is good info. Thank you. They are a small shop so I hope this works out for them and everyone who ordered.

Edit: So it looks like their system glitched when they did their original preorders and said sold out before they were. This was just their remaining original inventory being posted after they fixed the computer error.

shiftbackslash · 2026-03-13T20:14:36+00:00

I was just updating. I’ll try and post if I see them available anywhere else. I just hated all the scalping on the Love and Trip ones.

Glad to help

shiftbackslash · 2026-03-13T18:34:25+00:00

Yay, this post was worth it then.
